Daniel Ricciardo may no longer be in F1, but he stands head and shoulders above his peers in one luxury department.
Daniel Ricciardo leads the pack among former F1 rivals in possessing the most expensive wristwatch, with his Patek Philippe Nautilus ruby-set 5711 valued over £800,000. Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc have also garnered attention for their high-end timepieces in recent years due to theft incidents. Ricciardo’s Patek Philippe 5271P, valued at £250,000-£300,000, earns him the status of “collector royalty,” according to watch valuation expert Arif Mughal. Norris, robbed of his Richard Mille RM 67-02, still stands out with the RM 11-03 McLaren worth over £400,000. Leclerc owns a Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990 (Steel) valued between £110,000–£130,000, while Lewis Hamilton dons the Travel Time Chronograph 5990/1R worth up to £180,000, described as a model that fuses sculpture and precision. Max Verstappen’s Tag Heuer Carrera 1158 CHN Tribute (Gold Glassbox Variant), valued up to £22,000, carries significance in racing history and technical performance, but falls short of the top-tier prices commanded by his peers.
